Why the answer is D, and why the others tempt you.
Promotional or cause groups are formed to advance a particular cause or set of values rather than to protect the occupational interests of their members. Amnesty International Nigeria campaigns for human rights as a cause open to all. NMA, NBA, and ASUU are sectional or protective groups that defend the interests of specific professional categories.
